>> yes. because the happy trail is there because supposedly it leads to a happy place. craig: it depends on your point of view there, i guess. >> it does. i was in college, i was in a class where we -- i took my shirt off. i was in acting school. craig: you took your clowes off in front of people is what you're saying. an "acting" class. a >> a girl came um and said i didn't know you had a tattoo. i felt some fuzz, the day fuzz becomes hair is the day -- craig: you become a man. yeah. >> i think that is in the bible somewhere. craig: might be. >> the day fuzz becomes hair. so i turned around and i did my december -- craig: have you ever had it waxed? >> a lot of guys have told me to do that.

this is going -- some people on my show have seen this. some of the actors. they are like dude, you have got to take care of that. i didn't know it was such a problem. craig: have you ever bend ppeded dover? >> that's when you can see it really clear. [laughter] craig: well, i don't think you should have it waxed. i think it is part of your deal. anyway, you have kids now. kids like an unusual hairy -- >> yeah, they can hang -- craig: what age is your daughter now? >> she is 16 months. craig: that is like a year and four months. >> if you want to get technical. craig: i use the old fashioned sstem. >> how long do you count months? craig: i don't know. i think it is 24. >> until 24 years old? craig: i don't know what the month thing is about. i would say after a year. >> ok. i should probably stop saying

i'm 387. craig: it is too much. with the amount of hair you have got, people can guess. she is walking by now, rigse? >> she is. she is walking. yeah. she is making demands. craig: demands? >> as soon as she wakes up, she wants to" cars" in the morning. craig: actual cars or the movie cars? you'll freak out when you see this. the cars talk and then the other cars come over. it is great. [laughter] >> they can do anything. no, she wants the real deal. craig: she wants to look at real cars? >> yeah. only if they are driving. moving cars are considered dangerous. craig: absolutely for the year and four month old. >> not until 2. craig: not even then. >> i've tried to be responsible about it and hold her when the cars go buy.

craig: that is kind of adorable, though, that she wants to see cars. does she sleep? >> yeah, she is a champ. she sleeps from 6:30 p.m. until 6:30 a.m.. craig: i hate you so much. >> whiskey does wonders. craig: yeah. have you ever taken crystal meth? >> i dabbled. the meth thing. it is why, you know, if you start early enough, you can get braces and reconstructive surgery. craig: i never did it. >> i'm too vain. because the mouth falls apart. right? craig: that is not my real reason for not doing it? >> everything else sounds great about it. >> i like to be able to relax. it gets you zippy. take tonight's studio audience, for example. [applause] so -- tell me about the -- "the

big bang theory" this year. so you get married this season? >> well, i was married last season. craig: that's what i meant. [laughter] >> yeah. so i'm still married. craig: but in real life you're still married? >> all of the above. craig: so you're married in real life and you're fictionally married? it is a bad idea to pretend -- >> you never hear that advice at your wedding. wait until you have that moment when you pretend you're not married. craig: it is all right to pretend you're not married with your wife. if you're both pretending in the same room, it can be like -- >> it is a party. craig: sort of. where is your wife from? >> she is from los angeles. i'm from l.a.. craig: i knew that. i knew. i knew. >> yes. so we are both products of l.a. craig: that's good. where did you meet? >> went to the same high school, but we met after. craig: this is adorable.

>> it is. i went to a house warming party at her house. i didn't know her. i knew her brother. someone turned off the lights and put on "thriller." craig: what kind of mad party is this? >> it is a party for people that can't dance. you turn off the lights and then you're a wonderful, wonderful dancer. that's what i have learned. craig: i have never been to one of those hollywood orgies before. >> i guess that does sound -- craig: it sounds rather innocent and fun. >> we danced to "thriller." i tried to be as moronic and buffoonish as i can. that was my tactic to hit on girls. i only had one tactic and then i married her. it was good. i showed all of my flaws and then we ended up months later talking. i had to work hard.

craig: really? >> i did. i had to convince her. craig: what were your tactics? outside her bedroom window with a boom box? >> i waxed my back first. [applause] they love meth and they hate -- craig: they hit back hair apparently. >> those are two good qualities. i kept showing up. craig: stalking here? >> is that the word? craig: it is actually illegal. >> we met at an orgy party and then i stalked her which is the unromantic way. craig: it sounds rather wholesome to me. >> it worked. it worked. i just kept inviting her to shows. i was doing comedy shows. it took her a while to tind me appealing and i stopped doing comedy after that, performing live. craig: standup comedy?

>> i was doing sketch comedy. again, it was me in horrible outfits. craig: you want to stay away if that. women don't enjoy a sketch comedian. >> it is really about how awful you can make yourself look. i wore overall shirts in the sketch. craig: that actually sounds kind of hot. tom lennon wore those little shorty shorts in "reno 911." he looked really hot. i don't know where i'm going. in the leg department, you betcha. he has got some gams. >> this is a confession. craig: do you do squats? >> i can. do you want me to? craig: are you in therapy? >> i would like to be. [laughter] all right. let's cure the hell out of me right now. please. craig: i think cure is a judgmental word. it applies there is something wrong with you. i don't think there is anything wrong with you.

i think you're a little tough on yourself because of your freakishly hairy back. >> that is true. my mother had a hairy back as well. craig: did she really? >> just -- i didn't want to face my roots. craig: nothing wrong with being hairy. nothing wrong with being hairy. >> you think being a hairy man from only behind is not something i need to get down on myself? craig: it is part of evolution. when you're only hairy in the back, in the olden days back there during the cave man times, people would see you and think you were a tree. >> that's right. so the front has evolved. craig: right. the front is a civilized man -- >> and the back is monkey. glass half full, half empty. a man half hairy. craig: we have to go to commercial break because i think sponsors are going to be
